Bounty, the quick picker upper! When we see a commercial on our T.V. screens today, we always see in print or hear the narrator telling us that their product or the service they are promoting to us is one of the best of its kind. They use all types of appeals and techniques to reel us in, making whatever they are trying to sell to us either pretty, shiny, worth-buying, or they use bold simple states telling us things such as, “Once you get it, you won’t be able to live without it.” By using these statements and methods of gaining viewers, the ad or commercial gains what it truly aspired for; attention and the need and/or desire to buy the product. In the ad “Bounty Big Spills” the bold statement and exaggerated visuals are created to …show more content…
The most obviously demonstrated and expressed message of “Makes small work of BIG spills” contradicts the implicit message that sure, it makes small work of big spills, but paper waste adds pollution to our population versus using cloth towels. The hidden message of complication within our society falls short of the intended message; however, the pollution factor has to be taken into consideration before buying such a fast and easy acting product. Sure, for some, that message would never be brought to light making the decision to buy Bounty, a no brainer. But for some, that might be the deciding factor in whether or not they purchase it. Bounty paper towels have been commonly known to pick up messes. However, when the hyperboles and enlarged items are shown in this way, it makes it seem like the brand is now bigger and better than ever. Designed with children and parents in mind, the author uses logical appeals of “big messes” to appeal to the intended audience. He does this in a way that sets the audience up for an ultimatum. You choices are to either buy the paper towels or have a 14 foot Popsicle on the floor in your kitchen. The answer is obvious here. By alluring the audience through definitive logic, the author implies that without “Bounty”, you will have messes galore. The display of two oversized items defends his implication. Bounty does an
Bounty Paper Towels, known as the “The quicker picker upper” started in 1957 in Green Bay, Wisconsin. They are known as the quicker picker upper because they are so absorbent because of the pattern they have and also because they are 2-ply which makes them thicker and more absorbent. At the time, other brands were promoting how strong they were and how soft they were but did not really ever say much about how absorbent they were. After research they discovered that really all customers cared about was how much they absorbed, so that is what they started promoting. In 1965, they came out with a two-ply paper towel that was thicker and softer than any other paper towel on the market at that time. Bounty Paper Towels are made
Fifthly, the question and answer about the elephant and Sparkle paper towels is a tactic to employ attention. The question is what is made to hook people in. Whenever a question is asked, people tend to be curious to know what the answer is. It grabs the consumer in. It captures their attention. For the answer to the question is it giving people a reason to buy the product. The advertisement states, “Both can soak up spills, but only one can fit your kitchen.” The meaning behind this answer it shows how accessible and attainable the product is. It is also making a claim that the product can soak up
Coming from commercials, newspapers, movies, and magazines, advertisements are one of the most prominent things that we get bombarded with on a daily basis. The problem with a lot of people including myself is that we fall victim to the manipulation of the advertising sharks and their devious tricks. In the article ‘Advertising’s 15 Basic Appeals’ by Jib Fowles, the author describes how advertisers will use 15 basic emotional appeals in order to get you to say ‘I want and need that!’ In National Geographic, a historical, anthropological, discovery-based magazine, advertisers focus their energy on the middle-aged, middle-class, educated audience, who want to improve not only their intellectual integrity, but also improve their families lives if the readers can help it. National Geographic advertisers can do this by appealing to the readers’ basic needs for achievement, nurture, and guidance.
This Satire exposes how false authority, humor, and hyperboles can all be used as a profit for companies. With more advertising on social media, it is inevitable that one will see hundreds of ads a day. With the knowledge of the tasteful rhetoric and enticing colors, one can avoid being tricked into paying for an item he or she does not
Advertising in a mass consumer society such as America is a very competitive industry. Advertising companies continually come up with new and more creative techniques of increasing sale. Advertising companies decide which group of people would be more attracted to a specific product and link that product to the feelings of excitement and anxiety of the targeted customers. The ads are carefully crafted bundles of images, frequently designed to associate the product with feelings of pleasure stemming from deep-seated fantasies and anxieties (Craig 197). For example, usually advertisements of beer and cars demonstrate masculine men, loners and free of
Advertisements are the most commonly used way to sell and market a product or message. Although we may not realize it while watching or seeing the advertisement, there are many underlying factors that cause us to buy into the advertisement. Whether it may be the color, picture, text, or sound; the advertisers find a way to draw us in without even a second thought. Many advertisers focus on guilt, they try to find a soft spot with in us by showing us those that are less fortunate than us. “Don’t you feel bad that you are so fortunate and these people are living like this? Give to them, help them, give up your luxuries, and share with them.” This is the
The last appeal that an advertiser will attempt to make is that of logos, or the logical appeal. Advertisers know that price is not the true appeal to all buyers and excluding it from their ad not only allows merchants to adjust the price by market but also allows the readers to do more research into the best product choice. In this ad, the visual aid points the reader to a small clock. This clock seems meaningless and out of place until the reader checks the statement that Crest lasts five times longer. However, claims of longer lasting fresh breath may not make a believer out of all consumers. For this reason, Crest shouts out, on their web site, that all their products are
In addition, don’t believe every advertisement. Designed to peak the interests of a targeted group, advertisements make consumers spend money. In other words, one receives a false perception of the item or event advertised. Every year in Maine, the exceedingly promoted Lobster Festival takes place. Sponsors of this event speak, glamorously, about a Main Eating Tent where one pays “ around $12.00 [for a plate]…”
For my first ad, which is the newer commercial. It was trying to get people to come for an "All Day Brunch Burger with free refills of fries for a low price. The audience would be young working class people who like to go out and have fun sometimes. This commercial shows the ingredients for
From the beginning, producers of commercials have contemplated what will captivate the audience’s attention the most effectively, and each year companies get creative and come up with even more successful ways. Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash with fragrance Pink Grapefruit and Proactiv+, both acne-fighting skin care products, use similar and different commercial techniques to excite and draw in the consumer. Neutrogena and Proactiv+ both rely on the success of their product through commercials, because of this enticing the viewer enough to make them want to buy their products become their major focus. It is easy to point out the obvious in a commercial, but most often what really pulls in the viewer is the unknown. When breaking down a commercial,
Advertisement Rhetorical Analysis Evan Williams Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Ad With the advent of the digital platform age, advertisements never cease to be made and placed all over. They pop in the screens we daily watch, siren in the radios we listen to and elegantly persist in print media as they do in magazines. They flood all programs and there is no point one will say they will escape them (Labrador, pg.43). Advertisements or ads have tied target audiences to whom the ad designers are meant to reach out consequently making sales. The advertisers in this multibillion dollar industry study the possible ways in which they will lure or attract the intended or targeted persons to purchase the advertised commodities (Labrador, pg.46-47).
It's September, Football season already started. By the time Super Bowl comes,there are going to be hundreds of new ads in the TV. Every Time we turn on our tv or watch youtube videos we always end up seeing ads about variety of things; from Cars, watches, clothes, perfume to household materials.

Advertisements are all over the place, whether they are on T.V, or in a magazine, there is no way to escape them. They all have their target audience who they specifically designed the ad for, and of course they are selling their product to. This is a multi-billion dollar industry and the advertisers study any and every way that they can attract the consumer’s attention. Anytime a products advertising tagline becomes incorporated into a popular culture, a pinnacle of success has been reached. The “Got Milk?” tagline has been integrated in messages across the country such as churches, “Got God?” cheerleaders, “Got Spirit?” and even universities, “Got Whoop?”. The “Got Milk?” ads have
Every advertiser’s goal is to grab your attention and hold it long enough to convince you that their product is worth your time. With the proper use of certain elements that appeal to the senses, this act is possible. The three important components in an ad are text, color, and image. An ad for Gatorade Prime Energy Chews featuring Usain Bolt utilizes these elements to convey a message that will persuade a consumer in Gatorade’s target audience to buy the product. By using bright, contrasting colors, a dynamic image, and large, concise text, the ad convinces the potential consumer that “If you eat our energy chews, you will get the burst of energy that you need to win, just like Usain Bolt.”
Advertising is a primal way to communicate, healthy bodies and lush fields “advertise” that they are good and should be pursued. Schrank claims “Ads are designed to have an effect while being laughed at, belittled, and all but ignored. A person unaware of advertising’s claim in him is precisely the one most vulnerable to the ad’s attack.” (Source E) Through billions of dollars in research, advertisements are directed to an almost subliminal level at their target consumers. By the use of focus groups, test studies and real data, corporations have discovered how to communicate with their target on multiple levels by the use of emotional, sexual, and logical
